8/29/2008 - Hi kids! long time no post.

Posted by Neneuche

I've had it rough.
I have been trying to cope with my head going all over the place but it's not easy.
I have a bunch of cool art at work but I ain't allowed to show you guys what the dillio because of all the corporate bullcrap we have to sin when they hire us.
My 3rd book illustration work is out now. I think the graphic artist messed the front page, but whatever.
It's the story of a humming bird who has a feather in its eye. I had other ideas for the cover, but they really wanted the cat and the bird and the feather so you gotta do what you gotta do. I am including the artwork and the book image so you can see the difference.
Feeeeeeee!!

See how the letters are all over the place? Meh. I couldn't find a biger image online and I'm too lazy to scan the book.

Oh and leave me comments or I think you don't like me.
I'm needy.

8/28/2008 - Inking with Illustrator

Posted by KirkGuy

Well, this post is for _abl_.
I do not leave many of my old posts, but take them off. _abl_ had asked to see the Wolverine I inked (over Ed McGuinness pencils) as proof that one can ink in Illustrator. Though this is proof that such can be done, I find that people who can ink well, can do much better with a real brush then what I can do with Illustrator.

The one thing that makes this possible in Illustrator, is that I did it on a Cintiq (Monitor that you can draw directly on). Looking back on this image, there are ways it could be better. I think it would also go quicker with a real brush then what I did here with Illustrator. But since I dislike inking, Illustrator helps me with the ablity to go back and change/fix things.

Here is the full image:

8/26/2008 - Battle Damaged

Posted by KirkGuy

Wow, been awhile. I guess these images reflect my mood about my drawing of late and my ability to be disciplined at it.

Life with a full time job that requires more then 40 hours some weeks, family time and kids involved in sports, a house that requires work from time to time, and finding time to exercise can really fill up you time.

Some times this drawing can be so trying, I would like to just chuck it all and quit drawing all together. But then there are the times when I just let thing be what they are, quit stressing about it, and I really enjoy drawing.

So like many things in life, one day at a time and let things be what they are. Sort of like faith. Leaning on the Lord at times when we are at the end of ourselves.

The above is Matt’s Starblast character after a big fight. Preview of page 12. Have a good day. - Kirk

8/24/2008 - It's a Boy!

Posted by aggy b.

My husband and I welcomed our son, Quinnby Peter-Reed, into the world on August 21st at 7:44 pm. He weighed 9 lbs, 6 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long.

When I have a little more time I will try and post a photo. Labor was long and nearly ended in a C-section, but all that has quickly been forgotten. All that matters is that my son is here and healthy.

6/4/2008 - Living large.

Posted by Neneuche

I uploaded a few pieces from the last Dr. Sketchy I went to. I brought in my laptop. The models were 2 very interesting and very large women. They're performers in Big Moves, a dance troop with fat people. They posed with skampy outfits, which is propper Sketchy attire. They were pretty fun to draw and they also talked a lot, which is usually not goot for a model to do because it tends to make them move, but they didn't. We laughed a lot.
FYI, the one with glasses had pasties on her nipples, just so you didn't think they were bloody or something.

Tata!

5/14/2008 - Commitment

Posted by aggy b.

On Saturday I married the love of my life.

The ceremony was very short and only a few people were in attendance. It was a beautiful and mysterious moment.

Outwardly the only thing that has changed is that the little gold ring my husband had given me when we got engaged is now on my left hand. Inwardly I know that something deeply profound happened when he and I exchanged vows.

We had wanted to have a ceremony for a while, not because it would be in a church or have a member of the clergy present, but because we both know the words spoken aloud in the presence of witnesses would have a tangible effect on the world.

We were not allowed to take pictures during the ceremony but below is a photo from moments after. I'm still smiling even now.

5/2/2008 - Wedding!

Posted by aggy b.

A week from tomorrow (Saturday) my fiance and I are getting married in Tampa, FL.

It's hard to explain how excited I am about this. We've been living together for about a year and a half (since about the time we got engaged) and are expecting our first child in August. One would think there isn't much other ground to cover, so to speak. But the idea of making a public, permanent commitment to the man I love is both exhilarating and terrifying.

I have never been happier.

4/5/2008 - Stupid shizzle

Posted by Neneuche

Hey guys. I know I've been a bad blogger but my heart isn't into it that much. I have drawings but they aren't scanned and my computer is dead and has been for weeks. I'm using my boyfriend's pc now.
Recent events:
-Broke my left hand and had surgery
-Had to get a medical leave of absence and got only partialy paid for a while
-I'm terribly depressed and I lost my appetite.
-I lost 7 pounds.
I feel horrible all the time.
I'm 28; I feel like I'm stagnant and old.
So yeah, not the best part of my life.
I'm getting help.
Here's a funny cat to lightn this crap mood.

I'll post art soon.

3/25/2008 - Birthday!

Posted by aggy b.

So, I managed to make it through another year. That, at the very least, is worth celebrating.

Still haven't cranked out any art in the past month or so. Been to busy eating and growing a baby-belly. There are a couple of ideas percolating that I hope to get down in the next week or so. If I have the time. (I know, I know. I just need to make time.)

Fiance and I have a wedding date set for May 10th. Now we just have to find the money to pay for the church, travel expenses. I have to make a wedding dress. Sheesh! Nothing is ever easy, is it?

Anyway. I hope that anyone who bothers to read this is doing well. I'll post more updates soon.

2/25/2008 - News: some good, some bad

Posted by aggy b.

It's been a horribly long time since I have posted anything. Unfortunately the past couple months have been pretty much art free. Not by choice, simply lack of time and energy.

This is mostly due to the fact that in mid-December my fiance and I found out I was pregnant. Yay! We are both excited about it (though a little surprised by the overall timing).

On the flip side, we are both still unemployed. The financial situation continues to scrape along. We've gotten odd jobs here and there, but none of them pay very well and most require a lot of physical labor (yard work, cleaning apartments for landlady, that sort of thing). I keep hoping to make some money via commissions and the like but haven't found any interested parties thus far.

I am not letting any of this discourage me. I know the money is out there (despite the shit economy) it's just a question of figuring out how to get it.

I'm hoping (now that the morning sickness and fatigue are beginning to fade a bit) that I will have more art to share before too long.

Peace.

2/7/2008 - Time for the 60s

Posted by KirkGuy

Been busy crazy, hectic the past two weeks. Should be slowing down here soon.

Getting close to the 1960s time for StarBlast in my page progression, so time to start drawing him this way more. Now this build is not correct, but just messing around as I have not had much time to draw of late. I like the body language of the center pose. By this time in his career, he is getting somewhat cynical.

Oh by the way, we got 10 inches of snow on Wednesday. Everyone at work left at 2, but I stayed because I had stuff that had to be done that day. Work is not much fun when everyone else is gone. I didn’t leave till five. I can drive in just about any conditions. Snow is no big deal. Infact, it use to be more fun to drive in the stuff in the days of rear wheel drive. Oh I miss those days. I would lay on the gas around every corner and be fishtailing all over the place. Front wheel drive stinks.

Oh well, we all have to grow up, don’t we. Take care all - Kirk
